Thundery Breakdown
(Updated: Thursday 08:20)
The slow change to fresher conditions starts in earnest today, and as is often the case in this type of situation - it's going to be a wet and thundery affair.
Already this morning there is some heavy rain, with storms embedded within it moving through Ireland and into southwest England, Wales and Western Scotland. This will continue to move slowly northeast through the day, eventually getting into the West Midlands and Northwest England later. There will be some locally very heavy, if not torrential downpours, often accompanied by lightning, hail and gusting winds - which is a why a weather alert has already been issued.
A detailed storm and convective forecast has also been put online, which you can view by clicking here.
Elsewhere today, it's a case of as you were, with plenty more heat and good spells of sunshine for many. Although the many areas along the east coast will once more be plagued by low cloud.
Into tomorrow the heavy rain continues to head northeast, with fresher, but still warm conditions following it into western parts. Michael Fish will be producing his video forecast later today, giving an outlook for the weekend and beyond.
